Chapter 100
The man’s voice sounded threatening, but Hesper couldn’t care less.
She turned around, her dress swirling in the cold office. It was beautiful.
“I don’t have an antidote, but seeing how you shielded me just now, I could help her.”
“What do you plan to do?” Rickard didn’t look very happy because he realized that he no longer knew
her.
Hesper’s smile was still cunning like a fox. “Don’t worry, there’ll only be good news.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
They looked at each other for two seconds, but Rickard knew that she already made up her mind.
He turned to leave, but Hesper stopped him. “Hold on.”
Rickard stopped walking and thought that she had more to say to him, but she lazily said, “How has
Ren been? I want to spend a few days with him.”
Rickard took a deep breath and was going to say that she
couldn’t just do whatever she wanted but changed his mind and after a few seconds of silence. He
calmly said, “I’ll send him to the hotel.”
“Sure.”
After they said what they wanted to say, Hesper walked away in her high heels.
Rickard’s eyes were on her four-inch heels. Wearing heels that high to a construction area was the
equivalent of having a death wish.
Before leaving, he said, “Get a pair of comfortable flats and give it to her assistant.”
Benji was used to that. “Mr. Duval, if you care so much for her, why don’t you get it yourself?”
“You won’t understand.” Rickard smiled sadly. If he was the one who bought them, she probably
wouldn’t even look at them.
And the truth was just as he imagined. When Renee walked over with some sandals, Hesper was really
happy. “Good job. You’re pretty observant now and brought shoes for me to change into.”
Her feet were hurting, so she changed into them without a second thought, then asked, “But I didn’t see
any place that was selling sandals nearby. Where did you get them?”
Renee didn’t want to hide it from her, so she stuttered. “It… it was Mr. Lynch who gave them to me and
asked me to give them to you.”
Benji? Benji wouldn’t do that. It must be Rickard’s idea then.
Hesper’s expression turned cold, and she kicked the sandals away. “You should have said that earlier.”
She would have bad luck for the rest of her life if she wore shoes
given by useless men.
Renee touched her nose. Ms. Lane was a great person, but no one could ever mention Mr. Duval in
front of her, or she would
become a loose cannon.
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Juniper sat in front of the mirror and looked at her red, swollen skin that started sprouting acne. Acne!
She hadn’t had acne
since she became an adult!
But now, her forehead, cheeks, and nose had a few big red ones! They were big and ugly!
“Where’s the antidote? Why isn’t it here yet!” Juniper yelled furiously, her eyes welling up. She grabbed
her phone and called Rickard, but he didn’t pick up.
